#Autism, #Anxiety and Indecision

One of the most frustrating things for both me and my kids alike is their struggle with making decisions. It's like they don't trust that they can make a good choice.

We've learned that we can't ask any open ended questions without causing them undo stress and anxiety.

I can't ask "what do you want for dinner?"

That question will result in the inevitable meltdown because it leave things to open ended and with too many possible choices.

Instead, I need to ask something like "do you want chicken for dinner?"  That is a simple one answer question.

This gets frustrating for me because it seems to make everything take so much longer.

You folks ever deal with this type on anxiety driven indecision?
